The MiniConnect Quick Release Unit from Novoflex is a compact and clever quick release system. Designed to be easy to use one-handed, it leaves a piece on your camera that has a diameter of approximately 2 cm. A dual safety system prevents accidental loosening or detaching; the large release lever can only be used when the safety on the side of the unit has first been moved to the right. An anti-twist set screw on the base unit prevents twisting between the base and tripod head platform. The MiniConnect features strap eyelets on its side, allowing you to thread your cameras strap in to the quick release base instead of the camera itself. This makes it possible to carry two base units (one for your neck, the other for your tripod) and allows you to carry your camera lens-down around your neck or work from your tripod without a strap. The round connectors are extremely small and have a low profile, so they can be left permanently attached to the tripod connections of cameras or lenses. Additional all-metal quick release plates are available in both 1/4"-20 or 3/8"-16 thread, with or without an incorporated anti-twist set screw. A range of six connectors for different equipment and applications, plus an angle bracket and a special carrying strap, round off the MiniConnect product range.
